HTC Chairwoman Takes More Active Management Role

The Taiwanese smartphone maker’s Chief Executive Peter Chou is now temporarily focusing on product development and innovation, while Chairwoman Cher Wang has begun overseeing some areas like marketing, sales and supplier relationships, the Financial Times reported.

Ms. Wang had previously been less hands-on with HTC’s daily operations, but has in recent weeks become an almost daily presence alongside Mr. Chou at the company’s high-level meetings, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
